Legumes happen to an excellent source of fibre, protein, iron, folate (B9) and calcium which are all things your body desperately needs during pregnancy. You could opt for lentils, peas, beans, chickpeas, soybeans and peanuts. Legumes are also rich in folate which happens to be a very important nutrient that the body requires and may also aid in reducing birth defects.
